[Success] iDell XPS 8300 *Mountain Lion 10.8*
Thanks for the Link, so ML does not like the onboard nic. I will try it. I did have time machine setup so that was probably what was causing the drops
I was getting the same thing with the onboard ethernet card. It would drop especially when downloading large files which would then require a reboot. Most of the onboard NICs have these issues it seems. I purchased the Rosewill RC-401-EX Network Card Gigabit Low Profile 10/ 100/ 1000Mbps PCI-Express 1 x RJ45 from newegg.com and it works flawlessly. It uses the Marvel chipset which is natively supported by Mountain Lion out of the box. Here is the link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833166015
Twenty bones isn't such a bad deal for an otherwise stable hackintosh build. Sonos makes a card with the Marvel chipset as well but is twice the price and uses the exact same chipset. Hope this helps.
